Logo (1983?-mid/late 1980s)

Visuals: On a green-blue gradient background that ripples like water, the green-blue text "SuperVideo", in a font very similar to Sophi Sophi Regular and Futura SH ExtraLight, appears just off-screen with a trail that extends out towards the right. Then, another "SuperVideo" fades in a large size and closer to the center, a dark copy of it fading in to its left. A scrolling "SuperVideo" then goes across the screen quickly, and the other trails then disappear as the background starts to darken and eventually ripple with a red-orange color. 2 more "SuperVideo" texts appear largely off-screen, and a 3rd "SuperVideo" scrolls up in the background and then scrolls back down while zooming in towards the background, as all the text fades to red-orange. It then cuts to the part where the "SuperVideo" text scrolls across the screen, repeated twice with the change being that the text becomes red-orange, but instead placed on a psychedelic-looking white-blue background. Then, it cuts to a black background with a "spotlight", with a "SuperVideo" text seen in the center and a trail extending towards the upper right. The spotlight then fades away and much of the trail disappears as well, leaving a single shadowy "SuperVideo" behind it.

Technique: 2D computer animation, followed by scanimate effects.

Audio: An edited segment of the track "Almost Dead" from the A Fistful of Dollars soundtrack suite by Ennio Morricone, the second half of which is played twice.

Availability:

Seen on old German PAL tapes of Lisa and the Devil, Americana and Dakota Lil.
Look on eBay.de, or go to Germany and check video stores for tapes with a SuperVideo print.

Legacy: This logo is known (and infamous) among the community for its psychedelic, intense amounts of chyron and overall below-moderate quality.

-Logo: On a green-blue gradient background, we see a green-blue chyron trail that says "SuperVideo" in a font that kind of looks like Avant-Garde Gothic; the trail is to the right. Then another "SuperVideo" chyron trail fades in. A scrolling "SuperVideo" chyron trail goes across the screen quickly, like the Windows Movie Maker title "Scroll, Banner" except with much, '''much''', '''''much''''' more chyron. Then assorted rainbow chyron trails that say "SuperVideo" surround the screen, and it's nothing but chyron trails for some time, but, then, on a black background with a spotlight, a red-orange chyron trail that says "SuperVideo" appears, and the spotlight is turned off, leaving the words "SuperVideo" in red-orange and a shadowy clone behind it.

-Music/Sounds: A psychedelic, oriental-sounding ditty, at first completely synthesized, 3 long notes and then 2 short notes, repeating 5 times, but later with flutes, a gong, a lute and a triangle, still sounding oriental like the first half. That track repeats when the black background and the SuperVideo trail appear. The latter section is an edited version of the Ennio Morricone track "Titoli", from the film ''A Fistful of Dollars''.

-Availability: Rare. Probably on old German PAL tapes. Look on eBay.de, or go to Germany and check video stores for tapes with a SuperVideo print.
-Editor's Note: This logo is infamous among the community for having intense amounts of chryon and overall feeling like a big acid trip.
